7 year ago; Leaky Triangle;
A month before making the graphic I wrote:
“Leaky Triangle: Why perfection is but a frustrating wish (and we’re always trying to patch the leak). I think it is possible to use a leaky triangle to explain all relationships of anything to anything. What the triangle represents and what it is leaking may differ but I think a leaky triangle is a better building block to describe reality (as well as fantasy which we forget IS a part of reality), whether it is the reality of human relationships, the reality of how waves (or particles if you prefer) function, why “bad things happen to good people”, how complexity arises quickly, how patterns form, how life began, why binary logic is useful and why it fails sometimes, how oil forms in tiny pockets…
In short, Everybody and everything is connected. Alone and isolation – well, we’ve let our emotional triangle leak out and we feel the void left behind and we’re waiting for it to be filled. Even nothing isn’t perfectly enclosed.”
